FOR six minutes, she was 'dead'.
Minutes where Faith Leiataua, 3, lay lifeless with no pulse or breath after she was pulled unconscious from the water at the Newmarket Olympic Pool on Saturday afternoon.
Minutes between when her mother, Easter Leiataua, was watching her happily playing in the water to then screaming for her daughter's life after she nearly drowned just before 5pm.
But those were the six critical minutes in which heroic bystanders, including an off-duty doctor and nurse, brought Faith back to life in an extraordinary story of survival.
